IPhone 4s does not boot and seems not to charge
My iPhone 4S has been charging for 20 hours now (with red bar in the battery on the display), but it will not boot. Also pressing home+hold for 10 seconds (while connected to power) or more does not make it boot.
I have the impression that something is wrong with the part that measures the battery level, since (when it still worked) I sometimes had battery levels dropping to 1% very early after charging, but with the phone still working for over 10 hours after that (so the actual battery charge was much higher than displayed). This problem disappeared and reappeared every now and then. Until now however, I was always able to reboot my phone after a bit of charging - but this seems no longer possible. Recommendations are welcome....
However i can't check settings because the display does not respond, i tried to use three fingers, but nothing happens. It can receive phone calls and notifications, but the display still is not responding so i can't answer phone calls. But now the Led is off.

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.
I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

Satellite A200-1M4 does not boot and black screen
I really hope someone can help.
After 15 months my Toshiba A200 seems to have given up the ghost.
I tried to switch it on today and although the blue stand-by LED came on and the orange light on the disk drive there were no other signs of life.
I tried and tried but it just would not boot and the screen did nothing but remain blank.
I tried taking the battery out for more than 30mins, pressing F4 - but nothing.
I have no memory cards inserted or additional hardware such as a webcam. Everything has worked fine before now.
I am not very technical so of you do know how to help then please explain as simply as possible.
I really appreciate any help you may be able to offer!Hello Sarah
You cannot expect that someone here on this forum can offer exact diagnostic and say for sure what the problem can be. We can here just speculate what the problem can be.
If you want to know for sure what the problem is contact nearest service and let them check your notebook.
It can be mainboard failure, maybe just defective CPU or defective board electronic. Who knows?
So, contact service and ask for help. Inform you about repair costs and at the end you can make decision what to do. If the repair is too expensive for you, you can sell defective notebook on eBay and later buy a new one. I have done this last year with my old Tecra. -
I just recently got an ipad Air and some odd things are happening. I use Entourage on my iMac OS 10.6.8, and my iphone and ipad are getting emails into the junk folder and the email doesn't show up anywhere on my iMac. You can't label an email "not junk" on the iphone or ipad, so what do I do? So frustrated.

My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream. I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer. I can't find how to sign on.

I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone. -
IPHONE 6 This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably
I have the IPhone 6. Bought it last Saturday,Just updated it to the newest 8.0.2 software Friday Sept 26th. No Problems until today, Monday Sept. 29th when Im getting this error .
It started this afternoon and, no i did not and do not have it plugged in. It was charged this morning and was at 57% battery this afternoon when the problem started.
Now I get this messege that keeps poping up over and over "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone"
It keeps popping up and i dont have ANYTHING plugged into it.
I called Verizon because thats who i bought it from who put me thru second line for help.
After a bunch of BS and telling me that they have had problems with chargers because of the amplified voltage and wrong plug being sent out which sounds like bull to me because he said the new iphones have a different head on the plug, not the phone side but the end that has the usb connection and goes to the ac outlet, which dont make a lot of sense when you can also plug them into a usb port. I looked at different iphone plugs from the 4s, the 5 and the 6,and they all show the same input and output voltages and amps. Basically nothing that has to do with my problem i am having
Anyway at this point now they are saying something may have happened with the new software when i download it last friday.
So now they had me backup my phone to itunes, and restore the iphone from itunes.
When you do this, itunes will automatically download the new version software, which seems to be taking a long time to download.
I will try to post results later to see if this works......I am having the exact same problem you are, straight out of the box. Got an iphone6+ this morning and five minutes after I turned it on, it started coming up with the same error as you.
The phone was on ios 8 (not 8.02). I did the upgrade to 8.02 but it still comes up. I'd be very surprised if this is a software problem. I didn't even get to charge it or plug anything in !! Started doing it straight away.
The error comes up even when I have NOTHING plugged it to the phone.
I am very annoyed!!!
If possible could you please let us know what the Apple Tech people say.
thx

since I upgraded to the new operating system my charger no longer works...
It says"this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone"Try checking your cable socket/lightning cable for dirt, grime, pocket lint, etc. I could not find the solution to this issue myself and after much searching I found someone stating that cleaning this out helped them immensely.
After taking a wooden toothpick (making sure the phone was OFF first) and gently clearing out the edges and inside of the lightning socket this went away.) It is worth noting that I had a significant amount of dust or lint buildup along the edge rails which I think was causing the iphone to believe it was plugged into something when it was not.
Try it and see, ensure you are very careful and do not use any conductive tools to clean the area in question. Compressed air also does wonders here. -
My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?
I have a similar problem. I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS. After completing the process the phone never restarted. The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon. I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone. The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads. iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does. I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery. This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help. A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged. She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on. I don't think it is a battery issue. The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone. Repairing it was out of the question. At this point the phone is completely useless. Thanks in advance for the help.

iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
Flashplayer pop up box "Requesting permission to store info on my computer" does not respond and will not go away. How do I get rid of it. It is most annoying as it stays right in the middle of the screen.
Move cursor onto video. Right click. Click Settings, Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close. That will work.
For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
video. See, if it works for you. -

My iphone 5 went off suddenly and did not become on
My iPhone 5 went off suddenly and did not became on
Is the battery on the phone completely drained? Is so it may take some time after it is connected to the charger before it responds. Plug the phone into the charger that came with it and plug the charger into a good wall outlet. Wait at least 15 minutes. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If the phone does not start Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

The wi-Fi button on my IPhone 4S is greyed out and will not turn on and therefore I am not able to receive wi-fi. How can I fix this problem?
Follow the steps in the article below to try and resolve the issue:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
If after all the steps the issue remains I'd suggest to book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to have your iPhone evaluated or contact AppleCare for assistance.
Hope this helps -
Why do my iPhone cords for my 5 say it is not certified and may not work with this device? It's the same cord that came with my phone. The only difference is the iOS7 update.
